Summary: | This evaluation assesses the development
effectiveness of the World Bank's country-level
HIV/AIDS assistance defined as policy dialogue, analytic
work, and lending with the explicit objective of reducing
the scope or impact of the AIDS epidemic. This is the first
comprehensive evaluation of the World Bank's HIV/AIDS
support to countries, from the beginning of the epidemic
through mid-2004. Because the Bank's assistance is for
implementation of government programs by government, it
provides important insights on how national AIDS programs
can be made more effective. For the purposes of the
evaluation, HIV/AIDS assistance includes policy dialogue,
analytic work, and lending with the explicit objective of
reducing the scope or impact of the AIDS epidemic. Few
HIV/AIDS projects have been completed and the vast majority
of projects and commitments are ongoing. With this in mind,
the three substantive chapters address: 1) The evolution and
phases of the Bank's institutional response and an
overview of the portfolio of HIV/AIDS assistance since the
start of the epidemic. 2) Findings on the efficacy of the
"first generation" of completed World Bank
country-level, HIV/AIDS assistance, and lessons from that
experience. 3) An assessment of the assumptions, design,
risks, and implementation to date of 24 ongoing
country-level AIDS projects. in the Africa Multi-Country
AIDS Program (MAP). |
